Senior🎓
Top SchoolJuha Liias is a Principal Engineer and R&D team lead based in Tampere, Finland, with over 20 years of hands-on experience in SoC/ASIC physical implementation and tooling, and a decade in senior leadership roles. He leads a team through full RTL-to-GDS flows—synthesis, STA, LEC, floorplanning and low-power IoT chip work—while still contributing technically to complex tape-out readiness and flow automation. Juha’s background spans major industry roles at Nordic Semiconductor, Nokia and Synopsys, combining system-level power management and verification expertise with practical DevOps and EDA toolchain automation. Outside semiconductor projects he’s an independent, self-taught game developer who has shipped 10+ mobile titles and built his own games portal, demonstrating broad software skills from Unity/C# to Django on AWS. That unusual blend of deep silicon implementation knowledge and indie game entrepreneurship gives him a rare perspective on performance, constraints-driven design and shipping polished user-facing products.
